Request that the Board waive a $480 campaign finance late fee assessed against Roger A. Casama, a candidate for Coroner, Washington Parish, in the October 12, 2019, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 8 days late.
Facts:
Robert LaChapelle, Administrator for Washington Parish Coroner's Office, on behalf of Roger A. Casama, requests a waiver and states the following:

They were unaware of the time frame due to a disgruntled ex-staff member hiding correspondence and not until the new investigator was installed did they receive the letter informing them of the time frame in which they were to file for the campaign. Once the letter was received, they filed the report.
